Officer detains unhoused woman in labor for "unlawfully camping". She replies that she has no home, nowhere else to go. She gave birth that same day. This is the natural extension of the cruelty inherent in the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass.

(🧵1/3) Unfortunate @LACityCouncil vote yesterday. Single-family neighborhoods make up 72% of LA’s residential land. As @InnerCityLaw's @mahdimanji says in this article by @radiowagner, without opening at least some of those areas to new development... https://t.co/q2WC2Bnw6u

The city needs to rezone for more than a quarter-million new homes. Elected leaders decided to block new housing in single-family neighborhoods.

Rather than appealing the court's ruling, the VA ought to just build the damn housing. 2,991 #veterans are #homeless in LA County every night. Enough with the games. It's time to step up and solve the problem.

Department of Veterans Affairs is appealing a judge's order to build more than 2,500 housing units and that invalidated land leases to UCLA and a private school.

Love this quote: “There is no medicine as powerful as housing.” Last year an average of five people died while #homeless every day in Los Angeles. The most common age was 55-60 years old. Surely we are better than this.

Locking up #landlords for behaving badly? Unfortunately, that is sometimes what it takes to force them to bring their buildings up to code. #tenantrights

A New York City landlord, Daniel Ohebshalom, already served a 60-day sentence on Rikers Island this year. But officials and tenants say he still didn’t fix his apartments.

Pleased to see the @LACountyBOS stating that being #homeless is not a crime and should not be punished as such. Housing and services end homelessness, not jails and arrests. @LindseyPHorvath @HildaSolis @HollyJMitchell @SupJaniceHahn @kathrynbarger
